The central part of the kingdom of Gambis was incredibly rich in manpower, and many of the landless homeless people spent their energy and wisdom on infrastructure construction, and they built wide, smooth gravel lanes lined with straight juniper trees, which were evergreen trees with a luxuriant canopy, making the wide roads long boulevards.

Boulevards stretch across the Central Plains, connecting the city of Blinor with the kingdom's territories like a spider's web.

It was the afternoon when a convoy of hundreds of elite soldiers escorted a convoy south along the boulevard, their silver chain mail glistening in the bright sun. Pedestrians and caravans on the same road saw it from afar, and consciously saluted the nobleman's carriage, which was the most conspicuous in the convoy.

Inside the carriage, Victor rested on Judy's snow-white, round, elastic thighs, and three purple gold coins stood on his fingertips. Each coin stood on the side of the other, and the coins seemed to be glued together, even if the carriage occasionally bumped.

While enjoying the beauty's teasing, Victor tried to put the fourth purple gold coin on it. Judy was clearly very enthusiastic about this little game, and she caressed Victor's neck and face with her slender fingers, and occasionally sent a sweet kiss, but she did not notice the coldness and indifference in Victor's deep eyes, focusing only on the purple gold coins on his fingertips.

These purple gold coins were given by Sophia's butler Helen before Victor left, a total of 800 coins, worth 80,000 gold soles.

80,000 gold sol is a huge sum of money for Victor and a small amount of money for Sophia.

While in the royal capital, Victor wrote a letter to inform Sylvia of Sophia's predicament. Sylvia quickly responded, saying that if the Marquis wanted to keep Sophia, she had to come up with 700,000 gold soles, of which 300,000 would go to the royal family and 400,000 to the York family, otherwise the royal family would never mind announcing Sophia's "death" and then seizing the wealth of the Marquis's house.

After reading Sylvia's letter, Helen began to busily raise funds, but in the end she only took out 80 purple gold coins to Victor, saying that it was a grant to Randall. Victor was sure that Sophia was not only out of danger, but that her position would not be challenged. Combined with the information provided by the archbishop, Victor judged that Sophia must have received the endorsement of the church.

Victor accepted the money unceremoniously, and out of caution and curiosity, he inquired about Sophia's situation from Helen. At first, Helen was secretly reluctant to talk about the topic, but when Victor made it clear that Sophia's matter was related to the church, she took out Sophia's secret letter. In the letter, Sophia said that she was in a little trouble and was rushing to the kingdom of Borui with the help of the church to meet Andrei. Sophia didn't say what the trouble was, but told Helen that when she returned, everything would be better.

Sophia's words were unknown, and Archbishop Lazarus did not reveal the details, which shows that the trouble was not a trivial matter, but it was still under the effective control of the church and Sophia.

Although Victor has no feelings for Sophia, an ambitious woman, the thought of his titular wife being tactfully married to other men makes Victor's heart panic, after all, his values are completely different from ordinary nobles.

"Ding"

Purple gold coins fell from their fingertips and slammed together with a pleasant crunch. Judy giggled and whispered, "Honey, you've failed again." ”

"yes. Failed again. ”

Victor exited the overrun and sighed leisurely. Roland's prank makes him realize that the X-3's overrun function is not only hugely flawed, but can also be improved by training.

Victor had never thought about it before.

Strictly speaking, X-3 is a new functional area formed in the brain through scientific and technological means, and it is not naturally generated, and the brain is the most mysterious and potential central organ. After loading the X-3, Victor's memory, perception, and ability to control his body far surpassed that of ordinary people. After turning on the overlimit, these abilities have reached an unbelievable level, and Victor once used the rain to blindly kill the leader of the silver-level Ant-Man, relying on the overlimit to cooperate with the wind and supersense, that is, the state of the apocalypse. It can be said that overrun is the core of the apocalypse. In addition, over-limiting can also allow Victor to strip away his emotions and become focused and calm, which replaces the will of the warrior to a certain extent, allowing Victor to fully exert his combat power, even in the face of ogres, and his muscles will not be weakened by fear.

However, in the overrun state, Victor's fighting instinct replaces his independent intelligence, and his ability to judge the situation decreases sharply. When he faces an evenly matched opponent, if he can't win quickly, he will fall into the trap of the opponent and end up with a catastrophe from which he will never recover.

Roland's two teasing are the best examples.

In the small garden of the Marquis's Palace, Roland's continuous feints make Victor constantly dodge, and he is as funny as a manipulated puppet. This is what happens when X-3 takes control of the body. If it weren't for the guards disturbing Roland's Yaxing, Victor would definitely fall to the ground exhausted and at the mercy of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Fortunately, this is just a game, and if Victor is still so dull in battle, the consequences will be unimaginable, and being captured alive is probably the best ending.

The second time, Victor made a fool of himself at the ball. His state at that time was instinct that prevailed, and his intelligence dropped to the freezing point, and he actually stupidly obeyed Roland's orders and sang children's songs in front of everyone! Although Roland's bad taste made Victor ugly in public, it was better to be embarrassed than to lose his life! Victor realized that since the overlimit would be suspended due to distraction, this was a fatal flaw in itself! However, as the dance continued, Victor found that his subjective consciousness became clearer and clearer, and the overlimit was not interrupted, but had a feeling of imminent awakening. Victor knew that if he broke through this barrier, not only would the overrun defects be corrected, but X-3 would also unleash more potential. Unfortunately, until the end of the dance, Victor couldn't pierce the window paper.

In order to rediscover that feeling, Victor asked Judy to cooperate with him, but it didn't work much.

This may be because flirting with Judy doesn't have the thrill of dealing with Roland, maybe you should try it with Sylvia......

Victor thought to himself.

Judy didn't know what Victor was thinking, and she didn't even know that Victor was experimenting with himself. At this moment, Judy's heart is sweet and melancholy. According to Victor's itinerary, after they visited the Duke of Wellington, Judy would go directly back to Wildwillow City to preside over the affairs of the territory, while Victor continued to visit the Southern Lord, although this was not a farewell, but she and Victor were each in charge of a viscounty, and the number of times they could get together was only a handful. As a result, Judy cherished the journey and spent a lot of money to buy two silk gowns for the Alina sisters in exchange for time alone with their lover.

On the other hand, Judy is very eager to have a child with Victor, although this is not very likely, but it is the noble daughter's mission to obtain a strong bloodline for the family. The handsome elven blood nobles were originally the gifts of the great nobles, and Victor was able to embody the Void Wind element, and the purity of his bloodline was not inferior to that of the Golden Knight. In any case, Judy will not pass up this rare opportunity in vain.

There was a warmth from the tip of his ear, and then the tingling sensation woke Victor from his contemplation, and Judy was holding his pointed ear in his red little mouth, and from time to time he gently bitten it with his teeth, and the intense stimulation tickled Victor's heart all the way. To test the X-3's limits, Victor specifically allowed Judy to stroke her ears. It's a pity that Victor didn't achieve his goal, and the after-effects were revealed.

The carriage was warm and pleasant, Judy was wearing only a thin silk nightdress, her glamorous and charming body was full of peaks, she clung to Victor's cheeks, the neck was as delicate and smooth as clotted cream, slender and round, and leaned forward like a beautiful swan. From this angle, Victor could see two pink plum blossoms trembling slightly on the tall snowy peaks, and the fragrant smell and delicate panting all made his heart itch.

Victor reached out and hugged the viscountess under him, ready to tell the little goblin with practical actions and provoke him with the consequences.

The big battle was about to break out, and the carriage stopped.

Victor sighed, kissed Judy on the lips, and said with a smile: "Baby, the carriage has stopped, I'm afraid there is something ahead." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the knight of the Internal Affairs Office to knock on the wall of the car and whisper, "Your Excellency, there is an adult in front who wants to see you." ”

At this time, Victor had already changed his clothes under Judy's service, and he stepped out of the carriage and asked the knight of the Interior Office, "Which lord is it?"

The knight of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shook his head and said, "I can't say. Adults will see you alone. ”

Victor did not ask any more questions, and he followed the knight of the Ministry of Internal Affairs out of the boulevard, and walked about two miles east to the outskirts of a wooded field.

A knight in armor is standing at the edge of the woods, he is not tall, only 1.78 meters by eye, but it gives people a sense of oppression from the mountains, the appearance of about 30 years old is through the vicissitudes and heroism tempered by wind and frost, and the majestic and iron-blooded temperament is like a lion who has experienced a hundred battles.

Victor didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness who wanted to see him, he waved his hand to signal Renaud and Shak to stop, stepped forward alone, bowed and saluted: "Lord Marquis Golon, good day." ”

Victor had never met the Marquis of Gorlon, but the scar on the right side of the knight's face was enough to indicate his identity. In fact, the great knight of the silver rank communicates with the void element and has an extremely strong healing ability, even if he is injured, he will not leave a scar, and among the golden knights of Gambis, only Marquis Goron deliberately retains the scar on his face. This has become the most striking feature of the Marquis of Golon.

Goron also saw Victor for the first time, and in his impression, the elven blood nobles were delicate and elegant, with a slender body and a weak personality, which was very in line with the aesthetics of the great nobles, after all, the powerful big lords and the big nobles would not like the same strong partners. However, Victor is tall, well-proportioned, vigorous in his movements, and his gaze is not distracted, showing a very high level of martial arts, which must be the result of long-term and arduous training.

"Victor, don't be polite. ”

Goron nodded, his eyes looking at Victor with a hint of appreciation and a little regret.

Whether it is origin, blood, talent, potential or personality, Victor is Roland's best partner, but Catherine sends him to Sylvia's side. However, then again, I'm afraid that only Sylvia can realize Victor's potential.

Goron vaguely grasped Sylvia's intentions, he shook his head and asked, "Victor, what do you think of Gambis?"

Victor pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Trapped in a corner, full of potential!"

"Trapped in a corner, full of potential. Goron chewed in his heart for a moment and praised: "Well said!"

"The Sasang Empire has a vast territory and a large population, with 11 highnesses, nearly 100 great knights, hundreds of knights, 2,000 trainee knights, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers. But there is a threat of orcs outside the Sasang Empire, and there are many internal contradictions, if it were not for the Radiant Knights forcibly supporting the Freet family, the Sassang Empire would have been dispersed long ago. Their desire to dominate Dórd, Neville, and our Gambis is wishful thinking. In fact, the Sarsanian Empire continued to invade the Duoduo, and the element of self-preservation was greater. The Frerets wanted to weaken the local lords and ours at the same time through a series of wars. Under such circumstances, how could the Sassarians unite and fight together against foreign enemies?"

"The Kingdom of Duoduo inherited the legacy of the Randan Empire, the land was fertile and rich in resources, but they lost the steppes, and the hinterland of the kingdom was directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Sassans. More than two hundred years of war have long exhausted the potential of the Kingdom of Duoduo, and the most ridiculous thing is that the Royal Family of Duoduo and the Royal Family of Sasan are mortal enemies, and the Duoduo people cannot surrender if they want to!"

The Marquis of Goron explained to Victor: "The ancestor of the Fredet family, who had been a member of the Friedrich family, was defeated in the family struggle and was exiled to the north by the Friedrich family. He made a vow to the Freiter family that their descendants would make the arrogant Friedrich family pay the price, breaking it up and reducing it to a branch. ”

"No wonder Friedrich and Freit's pronunciation is so close. Victor shook his head and smiled.

"If His Majesty Friedrich does not want to polish Emperor Freret's boots, he has no choice but to resist. Marquis Goron sneered and continued: "The kingdom of Neville is barren land, sparsely populated, and subject to the church. As long as the trade is cut off, they are just a bunch of bandits. ”

"Will the kingdom of Neville take refuge in the Sassanians?" asked Victor.

"The Nevilles are not fools, they just hold on to the Boulder Mountains. No one wants to be cannon fodder for the Knights of Radiance and run out to fight the orcs. Marquis Goron said lightly.

"The Kingdom of Seuss and the United Kingdom of Borui are busy with infighting all day long, and they have no strategic space to expand westward, and El and Neville are barriers that they cannot cross. ”

"Although our Gambis is located in the middle of nowhere, it is far from the center of the war, and the three fortresses of the Centaur Hills have been built to block the threat of Ant-Man in the swamp, and if we bury our heads in development for a few more years, we may not have the opportunity to create an empire. Marquis Goron said proudly.

"My lord, I should say that there is a great chance. ”

Victor couldn't figure out the purpose of Goron's conversation with him, but his assessment of the situation was still very pertinent, especially regarding the position of blocking the threat of Ant-Man, which Victor liked very much.

Marquis Goron looked at Victor with appreciative eyes and asked in a deep voice, "No matter how the situation develops in the future, this is after all the territory we have opened up. Victor, you are also the lord of Gambis, if someone wants to take away your hard-earned homeland, will you give up your territory to others, or will you resolutely resist?"

Is this a patriotic education for me? Is it because I am afraid that I will defect to the enemy?

Victor was a little confused, but still replied coldly: "Then use the sword and spear to speak!"

Marquis Goron nodded in satisfaction, and his next sentence brought Victor to his senses.

"Victor, do you know what a spirit knight is?"
